You can model power spears making them count as relic blades if you dont mind the points cost, too...

Relic Blades mean anything thats in the shape of a close combat weapon.
And a spear is a closecombat weapon, and a ranged, but then its a Shining Spear if you throw it, not a Relic Blade...

Wrong. Only Honor Guard can carry Relic weapons, and then they cannot take Storm Shields.

Give them shields anyways? I don't see why not, there's plenty of Spartan Space Marines out there who is equipped with spears and shields, I've seen many enter Golden Daemon with such units, it's an awesome idea. Leonidas can't be part of this "spartan chapter"... He's already teamed up with the Angry Marines... ;D  But seriously, the world needs more of these themed armies, a 300 space marine force would look swell, as would a Mad Max themed ork force, and Nazi guards of course (seen Nazi Space Marines been done, looked pretty sweet to be honest).

Besides, wasn´t that one just for laughts? :-/
Indeed, I would love to make a Helgast IG/Inquisitor army one day. surprised
I´ve had that idea in my head for a very long time. >w<

Wrong. Only Honor Guard can carry Relic weapons, and then they cannot take Storm Shields.
Models/units that can have relic blades are:- Chapter Master
- Captain
- Honour Guard
- Vanguard (Sergeant only)

Sorry, Asmondai, my wording was a bit off. I meant that Honor Guard can have Relic blades but that a Command Squad cannot.

Was wonderin if anyone could suggest a thing or two i could add to my army. ive got around 200 points to spare to build a 1k army (im at 800ish)
Captian-Storm Bolter and P.S
Command Squad. Apoth, Bearer, Champion, and two vets(weapons undecided)
Tactical squad. 1 melta, 1 missle, 1 flamer, 5 bolters
Rhino. Hunter killer. Pintle mounted
Scout Squad. 4 pistol/ccw. 1 bolter
Sniper squad. 3 snipers.
Termies. 1 Storm Bolter, 1 Storm bolter and... shoulder missle thinger.
Marine Biker. Just the one.
Assault Squad. 1 powersword and p.pistol w/ combat shield. 1 p.pistol and ccw. 3 pistol/ccw
thats basically all i have, theyre all decked out with just about every extra they can have, such as both types of grenades and such
so if anyone can think of something(s) i can add to my army to give it an extra kick that'd be cool.
im not a big fan of the bikes, so im not really interested in buying more.
and, i like to play them as a "run in and hit s**t with some fire support behind the lines" style army. if that help determine whatd be more useful.

Get a Predator, but configure it to kill tanks, or just get a Land Raider.
It'll give your force some much need anti-tank, because only your termies have a real chance of killing a good tank, and if they die, or disappear some where, then you're pretty sodded.

Oh god, Helghans would be wonderful. By far one of my favorite enemy forces of any game. I like them way more than the ISA.
I'm not entirely sure how you'd model them though. Steel battalion?

Some of your entries don't sound all that legal. Your tactical squad is eight strong and has two special weapons and one heavy weapon? Your sniper squad is three strong? You have one biker? Your terminator squad is two strong? Sorry but if this is the case then your army is not legal. You really, REALLY need to get the current codex and read it through thoroughly on squad sizes, weapon options and everything else.

lol sorry brookman, forgot about that, ive been playing "houserules" unit fragments allowed, hence the single bike marine.
but ill gladly take it out to make it that much more legal. i have been planning on picking up more scouts to finish off both squads.
ive also been planning on picking up more tactical marines to move the other specialty weapon to.
so... i guess that partially answers my question, but i guess what i was more getting at, is:
1. should i get more bikes? or scrap them all together
2. and what models dont i have that i should. such as a Predator. or dreadnought. i just dont wanna buy something that wouldnt help my army

You should make your army legal first and worry about expanding after that. And please be more clear when posting an army list if any special criteria are involved or not. We can't all read minds across the internet.
